In Praising Virat Kohli, Ex-India Star’s Dig At Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly: “They Never Wanted…”





Virat Kohli’s poor Test form in 2024 continued, as he got out for a duck in the first innings against New Zealand. In spite of that, Kohli – who promoted himself to No. 3 due to Shubman Gill’s absence – got plaudits for his decision. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar hailed Kohli’s decision to sacrifice his usual No. 4 slot, claiming that it set him apart from former players like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, stating that the latter two would never want to give up their batting position in Tests.

“Hats off to Virat Kohli!,” posted Manjrekar on social media platform X.

“Coming out to bat at no. 3 because the team needed it. Ganguly, Tendulkar were very keen to open in white ball cricket, but never wanted to go up the order in Tests,” Manjrekar tweeted.

“That’s a true champion right there for you,” he added.

However, Manjrekar did criticise the star batter for taking an aggressive approach from the very first ball and said that the tactic has “compounded his problems” in the recent past.

Is Manjrekar correct?

Manjrekar lay a subtle criticism on Tendulkar and Ganguly in emphasising that they did not want to go up the order in Test cricket, despite opening the batting numerous times in ODI cricket.

But how true is his claim?

Tendulkar scored nearly 85% of his Test runs at No. 4, scoring a grand total of only 15 runs in any of the top three positions in the order.

On the other hand, Ganguly has 752 of his 7,212 Test runs at No. 3, while only 11 runs as an opener. It must be remembered that Ganguly would bat at No. 3 earlier in his Test career, before Rahul Dravid made the position his own.

After thinking… Amidst the tension with Canada, China's words have deteriorated, which step of India has been affected?


After increasing tension between India and Canada, China has now given advice to India on the issue of Taiwan. China on Thursday asked India to act thoughtfully on the Taiwan issue. China's comments come after the opening of another de facto Consulate of Taiwan in Mumbai. China has said that this step may hinder efforts to improve relations between China and India. On Thursday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a press conference that China opposes any move by any country with which China has relations to establish official contacts with Taiwan.

On Thursday, Mao said, “China has raised this issue with the Indian side. India has shown political commitment to the One China policy and it is the political foundation of China-India relations.” He said China appeals to India to strictly abide by its commitments, handle Taiwan-related issues carefully and avoid having any kind of official relations with Taiwan.

Stress may increase

Taiwan's official Central News Agency said that the Taiwan government has opened its third office in India on Wednesday. Earlier such offices existed in New Delhi and Chennai. This office has opened at a time when China and India are trying to reduce border tensions and resolve conflicts. In such a situation, it can become a cause of dispute which can also increase tension in bilateral relations.

Taiwan protests

China considers democratically ruled Taiwan as part of the country. Earlier this week, China also started military exercises around the border with Taiwan. However, Taiwan rejects China's sovereignty claims and the Taiwanese government has said that China has no right to represent the country on the international stage.

According to sources, the police told in the charge sheet that Bishnoi gang had given a contract of Rs 25 lakh to kill Salman Khan.

The accused were planning to purchase advanced weapons AK 47, AK 92 and M 16 from Pakistan. Among them, they were also planning to buy the Turkish made Zigana pistol with which Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was murdered. The accused wanted to kill Bollywood actor Salman Khan using these weapons.

Every movement of Salman Khan is being monitored

The police also told in the charge sheet that the accused had hired boys below 18 years of age to kill Salman Khan.

The gathering was to be held in Kanyakumari

As soon as they got the order, they all would have attacked Salman Khan using state-of-the-art weapons brought from Pakistan, all these shooters are hiding in Pune, Raigarh, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Gujarat. After firing at Salman Khan, the accused had also made their own skip plan, according to which after killing Salman Khan, everyone was asked to gather at Kanyakumari. After that, everyone would be taken to Sri Lanka by boat and then from Sri Lanka, they would be taken to the country where they had to go, so that the Indian investigative agency could not reach them.

Shooters made strict arrangements to kill the actor
During investigation, it was revealed that Sukha had assigned the task of murder to designated shooter Ajay Kashyap alias AK and four other people involved in the conspiracy. Kashyap and his team conducted a recce of Salman Khan's farmhouse and carefully assessed the star's security measures. He concluded that due to the actor's tight security and bulletproof vehicles, high-end weapons would be required to carry out the murder. Further investigation revealed Sukha's direct interactions with Pakistan-based arms dealer Dogar.

Sukha contacted Dogar regarding weapons issue
Sukha contacted Dogar via video call, showing off the AK-47 and other advanced fire arms wrapped in a shawl, while negotiating the terms of the arms deal.

New ‘All Out 36’? Cricket Australia Trolls India After Bengaluru Collapse Against New Zealand


India were all out for 46 in the first Test match against New Zealand© AFP




Cricket Australia took a dig at Rohit Sharma and Co., after Team India skittled for 46 in the first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Pacers Matt Henry and William O’Rourke wreaked havoc on India batting line up as the duo shared nine wickets to bowl out India for just 46 on day 2. Rishabh Pant was top scorer for the host with 20 off 49 in the innings that saw five ducks. With this, India have recorded their lowest total at home and third lowest Test score overall. India’s previous lowest at home was 75 against the West Indies in New Delhi in 1987. Their lowest overall is 36 against Australia in a pink-ball Adelaide Test in 2020.

Trolling India for their disastrous batting collapse, Cricket Australia shared a highlights from India’s 36-all from 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series on social media with a caption, “Is ‘All Out 46’ the new ‘All Out 36’?”

Former England captain Michael Vaughan also trolled India and shared, “Look on the bright side Indian fans .. at least you have got past 36 ..”

Under overcast condition, Henry exhibited great control on line and length to pick 5-15 and also reached the landmark of 100 Test wickets. O’Rourke, playing in his first Test in India, made a fantastic impression with his awkward bounce and mixing of lengths to pick 4-22 while veteran pacer Tim Southee took a scalp.

With conditions heavily favouring an accurate New Zealand bowling line-up and backed up brilliantly by their fielders, India didn’t show the desired batting application to grind it out against swing or seam and fell without doing much. Only Rishabh Pant (20) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) reached double figures in a sorry Indian batting show laced with five ducks.
